Integrations: Accessing the Hire API
The Trakstar Hire makes it easy to integrate other applications with Trakstar Hire, including creating a custom career site.
The Hire API is fully self-service. Should you have any general questions, our support team is happy to answer them via email. The execution, build, and maintenance of the API will be fully on your side.
Note:
If you utilize our API and are making API calls to https://companyname.recruiterbox.com/api/v1/users, you will need to update your code to utilize the new domain - https://companyname.hire.trakstar.com/api/v1/users.
Modify and Access
The Trakstar Hire API provides the ability to manage shared resources inside your account programmatically. Our API follows industry best practices, guaranteeing a predictable and intuitive interface for how we format responses, parse parameters, and support features like pagination, filtering, and more. For more details, please visit our technical API Documentation.
Use Cases
The most common reason people use the Trakstar Hire API is to build out a custom career site, or access opening and/or candidate data, to either send to Hire or to an external software program.
